PAUSE AND REFLECT!
Here, on the eve <jf those final success
es which, in the judgment of wise men,
are practically to re-establish the power
of the old Union, it is fit and profitable to
look about us —to consider and take coun
sel,.one with another and each with all,
on the iuture policy of the natiou.
All thoughtful men are seriously and
sadly speculating on what we shall do af
ter the war. The duty and the task of re
uniting the now divided Commonwealths
will fal' upon the calm, reflecting, steady
minded men ot the country. The disunion
extremists of the South, having utterly fail
ed in their insolent appeal to the sword,
must now he dealt with by the common
sense and forbearance of the nation, which,
at the same time, must resolutely curb the
insane disunion extremists of the North,
who, with wild frenzy, are preparing to
torture the fallen foe, alter the old manner
of fanatics and savages.
If Abolitionism is not crafty, and cunning,
and selfish, it is nothing—bold, generous,
self-sacrificing it. never wa3 ; it never can
be. To the lasting injury of the country,
and by the mere accident of a most foolish
quarrel among those who respected the
Constitution and desired to maintain it,
the Abolitionists found themselves, us
they thought, on the 4th of March, 1801,
in full possession of the federal govern
ment. They had a majority in Congress,
and a “prior claim,’ - a “first mortgage --
on the President’s sympathies and opin
ions. The treacherous resort to arms by
heir brother extremists of the Sooth
crowned the hopes of the Abolitionists,
and there seemed to be nothing between
them and unclouded triumph. But, when
Mr. Ltscolm got to Washington and sur
veyed the entire field in which he was to
act, even though the scene was dimmed
with the smoke of battle, and the air was
ringing with the horrible sound of deadly
strife, he felt that conservative opinion
alone could save the Union, and that he
could not travel the same road with Sum
mer, and Phillips, and John Bnowx.
And now that we are promised a breathing
•pace from the excitement of the contest,
now that it is fondly hoped that the war is
drawing to a close, let us pause and refiect
how to assist the President and to save
the country from the force and guile of
Abolition fanaticism.
We do not. wish to be understood as
calling the whole Republican party Abo
litionists. While Republicans and Demo
crats are fighting side by side in this war,
your whining, scheming, managing Abo
litionists are not in the fray. You will find
them with Summer in the Senate, or with
Lovejoy in the House, or with Giddimos,
nnd Bayard Taylor, and C. F. Adams,
in the enjoyment of diplomatic salaries
and consular fees; or as contractors, or as
paymasters, or in other non-combatant,
paying positions—bat. you will not find
many of them in the army, take our word
for it. They quell no rebel with the bay
onet, but, they fill their own coffers
with fat contracts and salaries, nnd
they propose emancipation bills and
confiscation hills, and acts to destroy
the Constitntion and the State Govern
ments forever nnd ever.
When the old Union shall be re-estab
lished, these miserable sharpers know well
enough that their day will be over. Fools
and fanatics may rave about gibbets and
guillotines, and clamor for their erection
at every cross-road in the seceded States:
bat men who hearken to the teachings of
history, men who accept and profit by the
daily lessons of life, knowthat, besides be
ing inhuman, it never has been considered
good policy to exterminate a conquered
enemy. In the rage and heat of battle, to
destroy and to conquer is the purpose of
the encounter, bat brave and generous
men do not kill their defeated enemies in
cold blood. Non-combatants of the Sum
ner, and Giddings, and Wendell Phillips
school, who would fly from a dagger of
lath, will talk about hanging and torturing
the conquered enemy as savagely as ever
the French Revolutionary committee did,
but can they produce conformity in that
way? To deliver the prostrate and con
quered rebels over to them wonld be as
horrible as the Indian practice of hand
ing over to the sqnaws for torture
the enemies their warriors had taken
alive in battle. 'To conquer the Rebellion
was a terrible work, but one of short du.
ration compared with again restoring the
Union in the hearts of the rebels. If we
shall have federal elections again alLover
the Union, tike Abolitionists know well
enongh that they will be doomed to their
former insignificance in political power.
Hence they wish to reduce the seceded
Scates to a territorial condition. Hence
they wish to emancipate, confiscate, hang,
draw and quarter without distinction and
without remorse. Shall they be permitted
to do this ? This is the question on which
we are to panse and refiect.
If the state of popular feeling in the se
ceded States continues as it is, if Union
feeling cannot be developed and encour
aged, if it shall be necessary to maintain
an army of 500,000 men to keep the rebels
in subjection, what have we gained by the
war? Let. ns reflect also upon that.
When the New York Tribune, in the
fall of 1860, recommended that, the Union
should, in the language of Gen. Bames,
be permitted to ‘‘slide," and advocated
the policy of “letting the Gulf States
go,- ’ it was because the ‘Tribune knew that
it was not a possible thing to maintain
the Union on the Abolition platform.
And nowthat we have fought a most ter
rible war for the re-establishment of the
Union, for the integrity 0 fthe Constitu
tion, shall we permit Abolition fanatics
to keep the Union severed by their hatefnl
influence and sanguinary policy ?
Rival nations have fought for dominion
und territory; and civil wars have been
maintained between rival pretenders lor
crowns; nnd intestine wars have been car
ried on between hostile, religions and polit
ical factions; but when the sword was laid
aside, the faggot, the halter and the stake
have not. for many centuries at least, been
used to destroy the defeated party.
We do not care a pin's fee wliat be
comes of slavery, so that the loyal por
tions of the Union shall not have to bear'
the burden of its extinction. We don’t
wantto buy slaves and colonise them—our
taxes will be heavy enough without adopt
ing that mad proposition. Wo do not wish
to buy them and bring them, nor encour
age them to come North to displace white
laborers, who. after the war, will be nu
merous enough, and who, we fear, with
all the rest of the. people, will see gloomy
times. But if the States shall see proper
legally, under the Constitution, to abolish
slavery gradually, so that no convulsions,
no distress, no violence will ensue, we
hope Heaven will prosper the movement.
If any State, following the prudent exam
ple of Pennsylvania, shall, quietly and in
good order, gradually free her slaves,
surely we should be gratified to see a
proper thing done in a proper way.
But this won’t suit Scmxee, and l’mi -
lips, nnd the Gazette, and the rest of that
bad clan.
Neither do we pretend to say how we
shall deal with the defeated rebels. Who
of the leaders shall be punished, and how
they shall bo made examples of. we do not.
at present, presume to advise. But we beg
all moderate men to wrest from the
frenzied hands of abolition fanatics, the
halters, the racks, the thumb-screws, the
red hot pincers, with which they are pre
paring to finish the mischief they had so
much to do in fomenting. Let nr, fellow
citizens, we beseech you, pause and reflect
how we shall best perpetuate the constitu
tion and restore the Union on a permanent
basis, and. as far as possible.' deny the re-
payment of vengeance to profane abolition
bands, but leave it, where we are taught to
believe it belongs, to the mai-stv of
Heaven
A Good Guess about Mexico.
Geo. Francis Train is still amusing the
people of England by bis spread-eagle and,
considering the circumstances, rather im
pudent, though clever speeches. He bolds
forth once a week, nnd always succeeds in
creatiug a sensation by bis extreme ’'Yan
kee" views, nnd the peculiar way be bus
of stating them. The last London Ameri
can contains, a speech on the Mexican
imbroglio, by Mr. Train, which is likely
to attract no little attention, from a very
remarkable prediction it contains con
cerning the probable fate of the French
army in Mexico. It is embraced in the
following extract .-
“France has gone to Mexico. Orizaba
is seventy miles from the shore. The next
station is La Puebla, where we shall hear
from the army by the mail due here on
Saturday, which left Vera Cruz on the 2ftth
April. .1 uarez will fight in the mountains.
Guerrilla warfare is a Mexican patent.
France is in a singular position away in
land—no reinforcements—yellow fever in
the camp —guerrillas on all sides—Eng
land and Spain hostile—one hundred miles
from Mexico! flood gracious, what a po
sition! The French army hits been sent,
there to perish —to he sacrificed, in order in
alhtre trance to the proper pitch of enthu
siasm to send reinforcements. (Cheers.)
For to-day the in carton meets with no fa
vor in the army , the nary, or with the peo
ple. AH are against it — all oppose —the
fiecle, fa Fresse, the Opinionc Xationale.
nnd half the journals of France. England.
France and Spain signed a contract to do
a certain thing. Somebody has broken
that agreement. (Hear.) If England is
right in returning, France is wrong. If
France is right in remaining, England is
wrong. (Applause.) Prim lays the blame
on France, while the English press are all
cheering France on to destruction! Is
England trying to get France into a war
with America? The way to win your
game of chess is not to smash the table.
(Hear, hear.) I mentioned that France
must have a reverse in Mexico to arouse
the French. That is the way Palmerston
managed the China affair. Ketnember the
Peiho! How easy after that to send out
ships, nnd troops, and cannon, and add
£10,000,000 to the taxes. (Hoar.) Pal
merston understands his people. He can
elect a Parliament any time on any war,
anywhere! unless it should so happen that
the people were hungry!”
These remarks were made, he it under*
stood on the 26th of May last, before the
slightest hint was given, in the Mexican
news known in England,to warrant a spec
ulation on the probable fate of the French
army. Had Mr. Train claimed to be a
trance medium this guess would have made
his fortune, for it proved correct, even to
the locality of the apprehended disaster.
The reason he gives, also, for the ex
pected reverse of the French arms is
worthy of consideration. Surely Napo
leon must have foreseen that five thousand
soldiers ' could not conquer a nation of
seven millions of people, yet this little
army was sent into the interior of Mexico
todo what it took sixty thousand Americans
to perform in our war with that country.—
It is indubitably true, as Mr. Train says,
that so Tar the French people have had no
stomach for this wanton invasion of a na
tion that never injured France, but now
that the honor of the national arms is in
volved, there will be but one party in the
imperial dominions. Not only may we
expect to see a large army sent against
Mexico, but a very hostile feeling will be
manifested toward England for withdraw
ing from the alliance at so critical a period
in the enterprise.— Hew York World,
A Second Moses.
A Harrisburg paper states that, during
the terrible freshet of week before last, a
cradle was seen coming down the rushing
waters near Man&daville, and being sus
pected of containing something, it was
watched by several persons for three or
four miles, expecting it would at some
point of its journey come near enough to
the shore that it would be safe in venturing
after it in a boat. At last, at a bend in
the swollen stream? the cradle came suffi
ciently near that it was secured, when lo!
and. behold, upon lifting up a light cover
ing, & beautiful babe looked up andsmiled!
We remember of reading in that sweet
book of old, of a time when the daughter
ot one of Egypt’s proud rulers went to the
river to bathe, when something was seen
in the distance, to bring which one of her
maids was sent, when upon opening, a
babe was seen, which looked up and
smiled. The above incident brought this
ancient one to mind. A kind person
tqok the little one in charge, and although
a week has elapsed, and inquiry upon:in
quiry has been made, uo clue to the histo/jf
of the little stranger has been discovered. 4

The need of a general bankrupt law is

Spirit of the New Orleans Press* l!
We have received a late fife of New Or
leans papers, from .Tune 6th to Jane 11th,
inclusive, from which we glean several
; items of interest.
We find au order from General Butler,
directing the Provost Marshal to 1 ‘shoot
to death,” on the 4th of June, Abraham
McLane, Daniel Doyle, Edward C. Smith,
Patrick TCane, George L. Williams and
William Stanley, who had violated their
parole, having been released after the
surrender of Forts St. Philip and Jackson,
where they were taken prisoners. Subse
quent papers give no account of the exe
cution. They were convicted by a military
commission, and the finding of the Court,
.sentencing them to death, was approved
by the Commanding General.
The Delia gives the following account
of the execution, on the 7th inst:, by or
der of Maj. Gen. Butler, of William B.
Mumford, convicted by a military court
of having taken down the Federal flag
from the Mint on the 26th of April:
*‘ After reaching the scaffold, to which
he has escorted by the Twelfth Maine Vol
unteers, the order of execution was read
with breathless silence. Upon concluding
it, he was asked if he had anything to say
to the assembled multitude. He signified
that he had. He then, addressing the
crowd, stated, in substance, that he was a
native of North Carolina, but had been a
citizen of New Orleans for many years. —
! That the offence for which he was con
. demned to die was committed under ex*
■ cilement, and that he did not cousider that
he was suffering justly. He conjured all
' who heard him to act justly to all men, to
r rear their children properly, and that
> when they mot death they would meet it
, firmly. lie was prepared to die ; and as
' he had never wronged any one, he hoped
? to receive mercy. Having concluded, his
• face was covered with a black mask, his
. head enveloped in a large hood, and the
. rope put around his neck ; his bauds and
legs were securely tied, and he stood alone
upon the platform! At 13 minutes before
11 a. in., after a moment*s pause, that
t seemed an age to every one present, the
. signal was given, the platform, loaded with
iron to accelerate its fall, swung heavily
1 down with a sullen crash, and in a few
> minutes the soul of William B. Mumford
f passed into the presence of his Maker.“
The Tmc J>elta of the Sth has the fol
lowing :
* 5 Yesterday at twelve o’clock m., the
* Union Association of New Orleans,
through it> committee of thirty-four,
placed over the City Hall the United
States flag.’ A band of music played
several Federal national airs and the
Federal artillery fired a salute of thirty
four guns.”
Two thousand barrels of best quality
Pittsburgh coal were advertised to be sold
at auction on the 16th inst.
The True Delta thus announces the re
opening of the Custom House:
“The Custom House, which has been
closed for some time past, will be reopen
ed immediately, for revenue and commer
cial purposes. On the steamer Roanoke,
whicn reached here on Saturday, came a
number of gentlemen, selected from the
New York Custom House, for their special
fitness to take charge of the Custom
House here. These appointments, we
learn, are not to be considered permanent
ones. They are only for the purpose of
organizing the business, and putting the
wheels of commerce in motion. The fol
lowing are their names: Collector, Geo.
S. Dennison: Deputy Collector, Wm. C.
Gray: Entry Clerk, Geo. F. H. Youngs;
Appraiser, Uobt.. Snrgcant: Collector’s
Clerk, Col. T. B. Thorpe; Inspectors,Geo.
G. Burns, ami W. D. Cameron; For the
Mint, Dr. M. T. Bonzanr*.
Commenting upon the condition of af
fairs in that city, the True Delta touches
up the lazy population thus :
“The domestic war in which this once
happy and great country is now involved
is afflicting the people with undreamt-of
calamities: but in freeing this city from
the vilest and most insupportable local
government that ever degraded, abased
and trampled upon a people, it certainly
lm.s not been without all solace. Shall we,
then, take advantage of the present op
portunity to do that for ourselves it is the
utmost "fatuity to expect any other people
will do for us; or shall we supinely.con
tinue. with folded arms, cursing fate, in
stead of conciliating fortune, and abusing
the strangers for doing what we ruinouslv
refuse to perform ourselves? The drone
bee is not wanted here. There is no use
mincing matters, no earthly gain in
deluding ourselves into the comfortable
but illusory expectation that manna will
be showered upon us. with gold spoons to
eat it with, if we only wait patiently. It
is all moonshine to look for such things,
and oven thuggery will tug at a dry teat if
it should again be able to raise its gory
locks and blood-stained hands over this
community. We have—and we do not
affect io ignore or deny it—a hard pros
pect before us: but those who have lived
as long as we have done in Louisiana have
seen many gloomy and discouraging peri
ods: and even admitting this to be pecu
liarly repulsive, can it be improved by a
stolidity that refuses exertion and obsti
nately rejects every plan and opportunity
for the public and individual amelioration ?
However we may differ upon political sub
jects, all will agree that we have a common
interest in the welfare and prosperity of
New Orleans: therefore can we be unrea
sonable in urging upon every one the ne
cessity of resuming with energy his indus
trial pursuits, and advancing by example
the true interests of individuals and the
public?*’
What is Heat Lightning ?
lhe flashes of lightning, often observed
on a summer evening, unaccompanied by
thunder, and popularly known as “heat”,
lightning,” are merely the light from dis :
charges of electricity from an
thunder cloud beneatfi the horizon of the
observer, reflected from clouds, or perhaps
from the air itself, as in the ease -'of twi
light.
Mr. Brooks, one of the directors of the
telegraph line between Pittsburgh and
Philadelphia informs us that on one occa
sion, to satisfy himselton this point, he
asked for information from a distant oper
ator during the appearance of flashes of
this kind in the distant horizon,* and learn
ed that they proceeded from a thunder
storm then raging 250 miles eastward of
his place of observation. Profe**vr

FU>t tg DepoW JeflV Davis and
tjrei&e a Military Dictatorin his
"Place. %
The Confederacy gives us startling in- .
telligence in reference to the violent op* |
position growing up against Jeff. Davis.
It says:
“The Charleston Courier of the 22d ult.
has an editorial of nearly two columns in •
defence of President Davis and his Ad
ministration. The Courier says : ( We
have been reliably informed that men of -
high official possition among us—men ol
good intentions, but of mistaken and mis
guided patriotism—are sowing the seeds
of discord broadcast m our midst, by
preaching a crusade against President
Davis, and calling for a general conven
tion of the Confederate States to depose
him and create a military dictator in ins
his place!”
The Confederacy proceeds to argue
against the proposed deposition, and in so
doing, unawares, makes an unanswerable
argument against the folly and madness
of the South in rebelling at the election of
Mr. Lincoln, it utterly annihilates the
whole cause of' secession by this plea for
Jeff. Davis. We commend it to the care
ful perusal of our Tennessee rebels. It
says:
“The people of the country are law abid
ing, and the law making power is limited
by the Constitution, whose bounds it can
not overstep. This our people know, and
it makes them feel safe in their persons
and estates. They know that if the bar
riers of the Constitution are broken down,
even with the best of motives for their sup
posed good, it opens the way for a similar
violation to the great damage, and the loss
of their liberty ; and though it is possible
for a faithful adherence to every require
ment of the Constitution to work inconve
nience and injury, by placing over us
incompetent officials, or some other
; way, the evil will terminate with the
cause that produced it: when the incompe
| tent official’s term expires a change will
! come. Allowing President Davis to be the
most incompetent man in America, ho had
[ better be borne with uutil his term expires
; than to get rid of him. or attempt to do
' so, by revolution or any unlawful means.
J This every man of sense understands: and
1 no man who is a patriotand a man of sense
r will undertake or encourage such despe
[ rate measures astheone alluded to. Then?
1 is no safety in it. The people will never
give their consent to it. If they ever do
■ they are unworthy of the liberty wo are
fighting for, and could not be worsted by
> anything Lincoln and the Abolitionists
would or could inflict upon it.” —!Y ashrilU

The Arrest of Mr. Soule.
In regard to the arrest of the Hon.
Pierre Soule, at New Orleans, it i.s Mated
that the charges ngainsthim are, first, that
he is the leader of a secret society known
as the “Southern Independence Associa
tion.” of which each member is solemnly
sworin to oppose, at the cost of his life, if
necessary, the reconstruction uf the old
Union, no matter what disaster may befall
the Confederate cause, ami to aid by armed
force, if required, the Confederate govern
ment in carrying outits laws for the confis
cation of the property of the Union nu n,
and in the detection and punishment or ex
pulsion of people whom they may regard
as spies. The second charge is that Mr.
Soule was the author of the letter sent by
the late Mayor of-New < irloans to Commo
dore F&rrngut, and is the principal sup
porter of the rebellion in that city.
Capt. C'onant received the order of Tien.
Butler to arrest Mr. Soule, whom lie found
at home. He informed him that lie was
ordered to arrest him; but Mr. Soule re
fused to go with him without an orderfrmn
the Provost Marshal. Cant. Conant folded
the order so as to conceal that part which
referred to his being sent to Fort Warren,
and shpwed him the balance. Mr. Soule
at once consented to the arrest, and was
taken before Gen. Butler. After some con
versation he was temporarily released, on
giving his parole of honor to report to tin*
General whenever he should beonb-red to
do so. He has been sent to Fort Warren.
Captain Ericsson and Capt. Coles.
An editorial article in the Philadelphia
Press, claiming that Capt. Coles stole the
idea of shot-proof turrets from Captain
Ericsson, has called out a note from the
latter, as follows :
‘‘New Yoke, Juju* 12, iNi'j,
‘‘At the time when Cuptain Coles, in
1860, prepared a stationary cupola ‘shield’
for tloatiug batteries, the Kmperor of the
French ha<l in his possession an elabo
rately finished drawing of an impregnable
itoating battery, made by my hands, and
transmitted to his Majesty from New Vorl;
on the ‘J'Sth of September. 180-1. Tim
most remarkable features of the Monitor
were all combined in the plan alluded to.
The vessel was composed of iron : its sides
were inclined : its stern projected over the
propeller or rudder, affording absolute
protection ; the deck was formed of iron
plates, bomb-proof, and in the centre was
placed an iron turret sixteen feet in diam
eter, six inches thick, supported on a cen
tral shaft turned around by steam power
applied below; ordnance of very heavy
calibre was applied within the turret, the
aim being effected as in the Monitor bv
turning the turret.
“ Strange to say, Captain Coles ennn ot
even claim the form of the revolving turret,
for the plan sent to the Kmperor contained
a cupola or senti-glode, and mil n cylin
drical turret, as in the Monitor.
“ It is worthy of remark that it was not
until 1859 that Captain Coles thou trio, of a
recoining turret or cupola.
“ Let me add that the Kmperor acknow
ledged the receipt of nty plans with great
promptness, ana paid me the highest com
pliments on the occasion which I have ever
received from any quarter.
“Yours, very respectfully,

THE ANDREWS PATENT PIPE.
(PATENTED JANUARY 21,1862.)
RE4I IBKN OXIiY A TMAL TO
l#rove its incomparable superiority to any
ne now in use. It may be smoked without any
:teri<»uH or unjth-UMiint effect*, a* the oil of to*
bocco is not th-Awn into the mouth, and the
tonguo does not become furred or coated from in
baling its poisonous properties. The bowl is made
of the finest .Devonshire day, and gives to the to
bacco a peculiarly pleasant fragrance. The to
bacco cmiHot become in ordinary Pipes,
because the drip beneath receives the saliva that
insensibly escapes iuto the stem: hence the pipe
uuver becomes offensively rank, and the breath
of Ute smoker does uot proclaim to every one he
meets that he has beeu “ indulging in a pipe.**
When the bowl becomos dogged, or the drip
beneath requires cleansing, thepipe may be taken
a part by removing the rinn;. The clay bowl may
at anytime be restored to its original whiteness
by burning in the fire, (fiist drying it thoroughly)
or anew bowl way be procured of the dealer;
the opinions of those who have tried
thigpipo:
'‘lVoiii | crsoiml experituee. we know it to be
all that it is represented ” — Philadu. Inquirer.
“A very decided improvement.”— i’ublic Ledger
“All who have tried it bear testimony to it's ex
cellence.'*— I'cniing RuVetht. *
“Decidedly the best pipe in use.”— Munuitunk
Star.
“The pleasures of a smoke are enhanced a
thousand told by its use, and the deleterious ef
fectsof smoking are entirely obviated.” —Sunday
JjUpatch.
“ 1 heartily concur in the testimonials you have
as to its superiority over all other pipes in use.”—
